A great road trip is about more than just fun companions, incredible tunes, and an abundance of snacks. Setting up a great trip is all about what you do before the trip to ensure that when you're on the road, all you have to focus on are the sights and the company. These road trip essentials will help you prepare for a safe and exhilarating journey, and all can be found at your local Mazda dealership! more 1. A Fresh Change of Oil Road trips can be tough on even the best vehicle, and getting your car an oil change is one of the top ways to keep your car in great shape for longer journeys. Each model has its own recommended oil types and service schedule, so check in with your dealership to see what your vehicle needs. Consider changing your oil early for longer trips to help ensure peace of mind on the road and upgrading to a synthetic oil for the most miles between changes. 2. Clean Filters for Easy Running Getting fresh filters may seem like a small change, but just like you, your Mazda needs clean air to run at its best. Ask your maintenance technician if you're due for an air filter change to keep your engine running strong. A cabin air filter change can also help keep the air you breathe clean by filtering out particles, dust, and allergens on your journey. 3. Fresh Wiper Blades Driver visibility is one of the foremost factors in keeping you safe on the road, and whether it's rain, snow, or sleet, inclement weather can be a hazard and reduce your visibility. A fresh set of wiper blades can keep your windshield clear and keep you and your companions safe on the road. 4. Road-Ready Wheels and Tires Making sure your tires are in tip-top shape is crucial when traveling far from home. Our maintenance team can not only inspect your tires to make sure they're road-trip ready, but we can also recommend the right tires for the season. In addition, we'll happily balance and rotate your tires and adjust your alignment as needed to make sure your road miles wear evenly on your tires and suspension. 5.  Battery and Brake Checks Whether it's stopping at the hotel at the end of a long day's drive or stopping short for wildlife in the road, your brakes play a crucial role in getting you where you're going. We recommend a full brake inspection before your road trip to make sure you're as safe on your journey as possible. Likewise, having one of our certified technicians check your car battery will help make sure your car starts the first time, every time, when you're away from home. We love our road trips, and we hope that your next one will be a safe, fun, and memorable one.
